  • of all the musicians that passed, I think I miss Jeff the most. His music can't be categorized into anything, and his voice isn't of this world. He truly was a gift from above.

  • zarpaaado

  • God!! I miss him :)

  • meraviglia di canzone!

  • he will be rember with the best,jimmy hinderx,jim morrsion,janos joplin,and 2 may to stay , his voives is like a goddly giving gift

  • Nice video ; very nice song. Forever!

  • The Transformation of Orpheus

    O cruel river, lift him up! Do not drown, don't snuff this one's fire...

    transform this gentle Orpheus into living light that joyful heals all our hearts!

    Did he reach for musical notes in that Mississippi sun

    and fall short in the eddies of derangement and confusion?

    Too good to live? Again? How many magic-men of song

    Ripped away by jealous devils, in deaths so wrong?

    Ah, but he transforms, changes light itself

    His soul freed in darkened river-stealth...

  • @zenpaganwarrior what is this ?! where did it come from ?

  • @nurvek2 It's part of a poem I wrote on "tragic musicians" with Jeff foremost on my mind as I wrote it.

    

  • @zenpaganwarrior - Thats awesome !! You totally understand :)

  • BAM! Errr...excuse me. I meant BAMMM!!!!! Right in the face!

  • this was recorded with a toe

  • I've seen well over 100 bands live...I'd give them all up except maybe 1 just to have seen this man live. Genius, simply incredible.

  • Comment removed

  • ain't this guy dead?

  • @jloch85 downvote to oblivion

  • Who the fuck disliked this?

  • @haplito the deaf and blind. they can actually see and hear physically but not with this video. their loss.

  • Think your local FM station is so great? Yea you find songs and artists like this and you realize how LAME and pathetic local FM radio is...Buckley is fantastic and you will never hear him on the radio

  • I am amazed how good Jeff Buckley was as a singer. Sorry I found him too late, but I guess it isn't ever too late, what a great talent!

  • @Kellyolson I used to beat myself up over the fact that I could have seen him live had I only known. But it doesn't work like that. You find him when the time is right. At least you found him!

  • @imkeylime Thank you, and you are so right, at least I found him. As to seeing him live, we just never know. But we can't go back, thanks to YouTube, we get a second chance, sort of.

  • This song is Amazing. Beautiful and Amazing. One of my favs of jeff. Full of passion and emotion. Makes me cry. Amazing.

  • most amazing song in the universe. <3 taken from us way too soon.

  • just close your eyes and listen.

  • They took down the video for grace live in Chicago, any idea where I can see that?

  • dude the first 15 seconds almost make me cry and he hasn't even started singing

  • i seriously dont understand how anybody can put dislike on his videos ... even if its bad quality!!! he was an unbelievable artist... r.i.p.

  • @jmackenzie19 for sure, no any other has the soul like him.

  • happy birthday jeff

  • Happy Birthday

  • Unbelievable talent and amazing range of both voice and emotional expression... This performance just takes my breath away.

  • nice toaster you filmed this with!

  • @maguida94

    He just got a really shitty quality one, There are other videos of this that are far better

  • Me gusta

  • Нет слов.

  • Magnificent. Despite (the tears :) ) tha quality, that's a magnificent video. Thanks for have posted it

  • We need more singers like jeff buckley around.

  • Amazing.

  • Comment removed

  • why is there a dislike button on any of his videos?

  • @kurtnevermind So we can see which people on here don't have a soul.

  • This guy is a musical genious......

  • candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long...

  • @frostwolfkkkk as with his father. We have no Buckleys left. :(

  • ....just perfect, beautiful and inspiring...the one and only.

  • @vikxie yes!!!!!

  • F*CKING ADVERTISMENTS RUINING THE SONGS

  • why did real music have to die?

  • "I didn't see you before.. but I see you now."

    It's my heartstrings that he's playing right there.

  • Telecasters are so under rated.. Strats just suck...

  • Comment removed

  • One of the greatest all time musicians ever born and lived on this Earth - no matter how brief his time...he proved his remarkable talent. RIP Jeff.

  • this song gets me everytime

  • What a voice, I never tire of it.

  • it actually makes me physically sick at the thought of what this guy couldve achieved if he hadn't died

  • Man, this guy fucks shit up. There ain't no one who can match him.

  • I want a telecaster so bad you wouldn't believe!

  • Well, 240p, fuck off... Jeff makes you better

  • yeeahhhhh.... this guy was pretty good

  • If your not a Jeff Buckley fan then why come in the first place. Go somewhere else and dislike something with no meaning, because Jeff & his music has more meaning & has touched more people than you will ever know.........you are truly missed ............

  • this song is incredible.his voice is incredible.my fav song.love ya Jeff.Wherever you are...

  • God..I can't believe he died..

  • This is my favorite version of this song...he sang like an angel! RIP Jeff...I love you! :)

  • A legend in his time. And this, greatest lyrics on the planet. Even if he'd lived till 100, it would be way way too short. I'll love him forever.

  • @s1ygirl if he lived to be a 100, I'd want to live to be 99, so I never had to live without his music...........

  • Kills me to see this performance at a club I go to all the time, and I never got to see him...le sigh.

  • Jeff, you will stay in our hearts forever.

  • no words can explain how good that song is.

  • woooooooooooooh man!!!!!!!!!!

  • I just learned that little intro he did. Super chilled.

  • i think i found a new love

  • It's sad that I can't play this video on youtube mobile

  • Buckley was for music what Brando was for acting: a pioneer.

  • buckley will never come again...unique...beautiful...

  • 10 people prefere Justin Bieber ... so sad :(

  • at 4.58 he messes up but is such a pro and so divine that it doesn't even matter -- this is how great jeff was.

  • @Talulah6 This man made no mistakes. Goddd.... none. Ever. I wish I believed in Heaven... it would be good to feel like I know for sure that this voice is there.

  • @jbwooten89 He made mistakes like everyone else and Jeff Buckley is in Heaven. He wasn't like the rest of us because he was truly a genius and sweet and original, but he was human. My point is how he corrected and soared and wasn't thrown.

  • So fucking real.

  • so beautifil!

    

  • If you like Jeff Buckley please read, "A pure drop" by Jeff Apter. I think someone asked who was Joan as Police Woman, her name is Joan Wasser and she was a violinist he had dated. He cared for her deeply. In alot of ways they were both alike, spontaneous and at times impulsive. They both seemed to always live in the moment. How often do we do the same thing? I love this song...

  • I found him alittle too late..but I found him ln my own...to this day he is my savior when i think everything is too much or just plain is worth crying over...thank you Jeff u are my saviour in this odious world..

  • The most amazing thing about Jeff playing live (you can see it in this vid, but maybe you can only recognise it if you have been in the same room as him performing) is that he will be there, with the crowd and then he is just gone, disappears inside the song and inhabits it, and if you are paying attention, you can go with him.

  • @TheMagicLee ,,,I'll have some of what you're on...

  • The drummer, Matt Johnson, is great too -- the whole band is but Jeff just sweeps it all so you don't notice as much.

  • beautiful lyrics, voice, guitar, beautifil Jeff

  • Jeff Buckley is the tear that hangs inside our soul forever.

  • Came home from work, tired and dejected. Jeff, with this song, cheers me up.

  • jeff i would give my life up for you to come back for these people.

  • This made me cry

  • Goosebumps.

  • It's crazy he sings like a person whose heart had been broken or would be broken his whole life. Who writes lyrics like this anymore? It's all about bling, money and screwing as many women as you can! No longer are there artists like him, strong but vunerable; Simon or Dylan. Just dudes with 5 billion tattoos, pants hung over their ankles and a gun in their back pants. And John Mayer doesn't count cuz a real MAN never kisses and tells!!!!!!......

  • @slopoke2112 They're out there..you just have to look a little harder

  • Awesome song, and a awesome voice

  • I dont cry because im sad, i cry becasue there are so many stupid people in the world. Or i just listened to Jeff Buckley.

  • i cant believe i will never get the chance to see this

  • 9 people have never had a lover, shame. :P

  • @enigmatichobbit 9 peaple have know taste

  • greatest song ever written

  • Goosebumps after every line he sings. I can't even describe with words what kind of amazing impact his music, his voice has on me. He is incredible. RIP Jeff Buckley.

  • God I have to learn how to play this song.

  • i miss this era of music. the music was center stage, it wasn't about the look, the face, the image. it was about just not giving a you know what about anything but the music.

  • He was a shooting star, a fleeting glance of perfection...brilliant and then gone!

  • @PopCultureSucks

    Some stars burn twice as brightly for half as long

  • @virgogirl1968 but some bright stars shine for an eternity without ever fading away :)

  • @mardy68 Some stars fall in on themselves and form a singularity, if they exceed the critical mass whereby the gravitational attractive forces overcome neutron degeneracy pressure.

  • I agree, Strange how these musical unicorns always die young, Jim Morrisson, Kurt, Amy etc...I bought the cd Grace and I was blown away...how he sings halelua, man...

  • i think anyone who dislikes this must not be human.

  • One of the most beautiful voices ever.

  • My life is JB-BC and JB-AD.

  • comon peaple who would push dislike. this is the most beautiful music ever. mabey they did it on accident.

  • i wish he was still around. i want more of his music. I love his guitar playing too..

    Rob Pattinson reminds me so much of Jeff vocally. Must be why I like both of their music so much!

  • @0LittlemissLola How dare you compare Jeff to that amateur . Jeff was one of the best singers of all time who could sing anything. Robert Pattinson doesn't even compare he just mumbles and moans.

  • @tinypaperboat wow. dude. chill. it's just my personal opinion. 

  • @0LittlemissLola yeah, and it's whack...:p

  • @mazrio128 not everyone has to agree, necessarily. it's fine if you don't. :)

  • He's a tear that hangs inside my soul forever....

  • What a sad loss of such a beautiful soul / and man / he is the most romantic singer / I just melt looking at him and listening to that amazing beautiful voice // jeff/ I miss your sweet face and your beauty / but your music lives on in the hearts and souls of those who love you!

  • Not many songs make me fight back tears but this is one of them, I don't even have to be feeling empathy either, just the pure humanity of it, it is so real (pardon the pun). Suzanne by Leonard Cohen is another one that does it for me

  • it always amazis me that somebody could write something that could hit so close to home.

  • flashforward brought me here!

  • gone way too soon.......thankfully, we have his music......so hauntingly beautiful. 

  • It's never over....TY Jeff!

    

  • It's never over....TY Jeff!

  • i will personally remove the fingernails of the people who disliked this video

  • @davetower41

    ive got a pair of pliers for the toenails too brother...! music is all subjective but....how can anyone dislike this?

  • @davetower41 But then you'll have nothing under which to shove the rusty nails...

  • @davetower41 Well, we got 9 unlucky and nail-less muh-fuggas out there, then don't we?

  • @davetower41 im the 13th dislike. love the song. video sucks. 261 crissy st upton ky. im usually home at night come and try.

  • @GregoryJohnsonJr Enjoy the junkmail!

  • If I keep watching this... I'm going to be late for work...

  • watch him for the first minute, the concentration and focus is mad. he is so absorbed and loving it, like, who cares who likes it - he would've done it anyway. legend

  • one of the best songs ever...

  • All the hairs on my body is standing.

  • beautifullllllllll

  • The Greatest Lyrics

  • They found you in the river today.  Gone, but never forgotten. RIP Angel! XOXOXOXO

  • "Too young to hold on, and too old to just break free from all" I'll always love you Ehsan... You're far too good to get that stupid sickness that you got... The world is a cruel,cruel place

  • So sad I'll never get to experience this

  • True 4485, nice version of Forget her out there now too.

  • I'm so grateful my parents forced his music onto me when I was little

  • R.I.P JEFF, from Australia

  • daar lig me gitaar gewoon...

  • I shit you not when I say this is as good a musical performance as I have ever seen........

  • Jeff your "the tear that hangs inside my soul forever"

  • I listen to at least one of his songs on a day & still cant get enough. His words take me back to a place when everything was free & I could hold you in my arms without the feeling of time to hold us back........I really miss you & I hope your doing well with whatever comes your way!

  • Comment removed

  • You wanna know how his voice does those things? Listen to his dad. I mean really listen to Tim Buckley particularly Lorca and Starsailor.

  • his voice is sex.

  • how the hell does he make his voice do those things?! it's insane

  • Jeff was such an inspiration and his music speaks in volumes to all of us. We only had him here for a while but the time he was here he made an impact. God, this man was one of the best musicians ever to have been born in my opinion. One can not listen to one of his songs and not feel moved. <3

  • 8 people didn't come over

  • I came*..... (over)

  • Jeff always takes me back in time when things didnt matter so much and a good hug meant something. When drinking coffee with your friends sitting back talking about life was the best thing...........Jeff playing in the background with a little Massive Attack = )

  • why wasnt someone looking after him? I would have stopped u jeff.

  • @TheTyaptyap

    Never heard of Joan as a Police Woman ?

  • @TheTyaptyap same w/Amy Winehouse...

  • @TheTyaptyap why would a 27 yr old man need looking after? I like JB as much as anyone but if a man cant choose to do what HE wants to do, then how can he possibly be a man? Yeh, its horrible, I wish he was alive too, but he isn't ...it was his choice to take a dip. If choices define the man, then Jeff's decision to go in Wolf River defined him forever. Look at it this way - he'll never get old and crusty; he'll always be what you see above!

  • @hektorpike Perfectly put about choices defining the man. Mourning Jeff.

  • @Talulah6 why thank ya very much :0)

  • @TheTyaptyap Please, I almost teared up reading your comment. Let's not talk about him passing away. Specially with this song. It's pure torture.

  • Simply, the Greatest! 

  • I can't believe this song is better live. I listen to the studio version and it blew my mind and now I come to find this is even better? I'm astounded.

  • I own the rights to this film and I'm mad as hell!!!! oooooh I'm like jo peshey in home alone after the hat burning incident accept gusti1021 is kevin and Jeff is the flame thrower I guess. Oh how you burned so brightly!xxx

  • he is beautiful in every way possible<3

  • this is available in DVD if anyone was wondering

  • Life is just wonderful, thanks to fellows like Jeff, that born rarely, but when the born…..ohh, they fill and leave you everything….

  • so jealous of the people in the audience. Can you imagine actually watching that live

  • Jeff was so not your traditional do it this way rocker, he was in a genre completely his own and he had a complete unique way of expressing that to his audience, friends, family and his bandmates. No one could do it the way he did it not even the greatest muscians, songwriters and the like. Of twelve billion people that ever lived on this planet he was the greatest that ever sang a song.
